😳 Uruguay midfielder shown TWO yellow cards, but not sent off šŸŽ„ Friday’s England vs Uruguay match (27) didn’t only have Ben White’s and Valverde’s goals as highlights. Starting for La Celeste, Ugarte got away with it during the friendly played at Wembley. The Manchester United midfielder was shown a yellow card twice by German referee Sven Jablonski.

But he wasn’t sent off (!!! ). The first came in the 24th minute of the second half after a foul on Palmer.

The second, meanwhile, was for dissent in the final minutes. Check it out below: Ugarte ended up being substituted the very next minute after receiving the second yellow. It may have been Marcelo Bielsa’s ā€œresponseā€ to prevent VAR from correcting the on-field referee’s lapse.

He left the pitch alongside Arrascaeta, Canobbio and Mathias Olivera. Until then trailing, La Celeste found the equalizer with Valverde converting a penalty. Giving the 24-year-old midfielder another reason to celebrate.
